Workshops for child care providers are offered monthly at various Henrico County Public Library locations, from September through May. For 2017-18, we will present a mix of evening and Saturday workshops.

Participants earn 1.5 continuing education credit hours per workshop. Registration is free and must be done online with a Henrico County Library card. Please note that each provider must register with their own library card. If you do not have a Henrico County Public Library card, please apply with your photo ID at one of our branches.

We've just completed our first week of Summer Reading Club and wanted to give you a quick update on the Elementary School Trophy Challenge! For the first couple of updates, we'll give you the number of students who have registered at each school. After that, we'll start listing the finishers and let you know which schools are leading.

What is the Trophy Challenge?

It is a contest between all Henrico County's Elementary schools. The schools with the highest percentage of students who meet the Summer Reading Club's reading goal get a big shiny trophy with a brass plate engraved with their school's name to display during the school year.

How does it work?

The school with the highest percentage of finishers (having read at least 20 days) will receive a trophy to keep on display for one year.

We will track progress during the summer and share this with the club participants through email and other methods. We hope that with this added incentive, we can encourage even more students to participate and finish the summer reading club, and experience the joy of reading as a lifelong pursuit.

In addition to the trophies, each winning school will receive a Barnes & Noble gift card valued at $50 for the school library.
